No retention of formatting when separating text styles

[Michail]

If I want to remove text styles, I have the following two options, among others:

1. In the Text Styles panel, I select "[No Style]". The text will be reset to the default formatting.
2. I select the command "Separate paragraphs from '...'" from the options menu of the Text Styles panel. This command does the same as number 1. But actually the text should keep its formatting. Instead, the text is also reset to the default formatting.

So both variants do exactly the same.

I don't see that option. Where is it?

You can only see this option if either text is selected or the text cursor is in a paragraph.

Please note: I am using a German version and have translated the command with my words. For you I have now temporarily set the program to English. But the meaning should be the same.

Thanks. I appreciate the efforts you went to. That was hard for me to find.

I agree, that option (Detach Paragraphs from...) is not working as documented. The Help says that the text will retain its styling, but it doesn't.

Thanks for reporting this, I've logged it.

We believe the issue ("Detach Paragraphs from text style does not retain formatting") has been fixed in the latest Affinity Publisher beta and should not occur in the initial release of Affinity Publisher next week.
